General discussion about Usagi Yojimbo, the comics, the stories, the characters, collectibles, TV appearances, Stan Sakai, Space Usagi, Nilson & Hermy, and all other related topics.
Now that I'm a full-fledged English teacher, I'm seriously considering using Usagi stories to illustrate plot points and general characteristics of fiction for my 7th graders. However, I have two concerns:
1. Would Stan Sensai approve of photocopied Usagi packets used for such a purpose?
2. What's the "official" way to document such permission? My school's photocopy center wants hard evidence before reproducing any copyrighted works.
I really think my 7th graders would adore using Usagi as a model. The tales are simple enough for anyone to follow, yet rich in plot, characterization, and subtlety.
